Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) people face a unique and increased cancer burden, disproportionately burdened with risk factors, screening disparities, obstacles to prevention, detection, and treatment because of systemic factors that go beyond the connection to cancer.
ACS CAN participates in Pride events throughout the country to offer resources and information to LGBTQIA+ people that continue to face a political climate that impacts their ability to get safe, quality, comprehensive, and inclusive care without the fear of discrimination.
Honoring and celebrating Pride isn’t limited to just one day or month, it is year-round, as is our support and allyship for our LGBTQIA+ communities.
Here are some resources to help support engagement efforts:
